In Zimbabwe they are using deep learning to identify giraffes and understand why their population is declining – Explica .co

According to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, from 1980 to now, the giraffe population has decreased from 155,000 animals to 117,000, 30%. It is also a daunting task and that is precisely why some French researchers are betting on deep learning. Deep learning to identify giraffesAccording to the researchers in this article published in the British Ecological Society, the deep learning system has been trained to distinguish individual giraffes, that is, to differentiate some giraffes from others. However, it could be for a well-trained deep learning and image recognition model. Thanks to a convolutional neural network (which analyzes images), a deep learning system was developed that, according to the researchers, is capable of identifying giraffes with a 90% accuracy.
